Pray for others: The greatest gift I can give another is the gift of my good thoughts and prayers. “God, bless my dear ones with love and peace. Teach them to live in harmony with each other and to promote universal harmony around the globe. “Bless all who need to be healed with the understanding that Your life is flowing within them. Strengthen them and renew them with Your energizing love. “Guide my dear ones to the right jobs, activities and opportunities for good. Prosper them and help them to be good stewards of the abundance they receive. “Above all, God, bless my dear ones with an understanding of Your loving presence in their lives.”
“Pray for one another” – James 5:16
